Set Up Customer Payment Types

In this step, you create customer payment types. If you use your system in different countries, you assign these payment types to a specific country. You must also assign at least one loan wage type to a customer payment type. To do so, you can use the wage types provided by SAP or also create customer loan wage types.

Consider that you must also process the step Program Processing Logic for Payment Types so that the system processes your customer payment type differently to the payment types provided by SAP.

Standard Settings

In the standard system, SAP provide the following payment types

• 0050 Fees: Repayment via payroll to clear employee fees

• 0100 Loan payment (external): Payment by check or bank transfer

• 0120 Third-party payment: Payment by check or bank transfer to third-parties

• 0150 Loan payment (payroll): Payment via payroll

• 0200 Special repayment (external): Repayment by check or bank transfer

• 0250 Special repayment (payroll): Repayment via payroll

• 0300 Transfer loan balance: Payment by check or bank transfer (used to transfer loans from legacy systems)

• 0700 Complete repayment: Complete repayment by check or bank transfer

• 0730 Cancellation: Repayment by check or bank transfer (by the employer if the employee can not repay the loan)

Further Notes

The payment types are technically stored in the system as subtypes of the Loan Payments infotype (0078). If you create your own payment types, you must bear the customer name range for infotype subtypes in mind. The Loan Payments infotype (0078) is no longer used to process loans in the standard system. You now process the loan payments on the Payments tab page in the Loans infotype (0045) instead.

For more information on payment types, see the SAP Library for Payroll under Deductions -> Loans -> Loans (Infotype 0045).
